Lol when I first moved to SF from another country I made the mistake of letting a woman on the bus know her shoelace was untied. She gave me the dirtiest look and ignored me

Out the corner of my eye a few minutes later I noticed her bending down to tie her shoe

Housing prices crashing don't cause rent prices to lower that much

Look at the two history trend lines

Office jobs also make society worse, at least this is only making the "workers" worse

I mean, a lot of this is just countries hating US more than hating China

Like Canada is China favored but I bet that just means they have less negative views towards them

I'd imagine this is dependent on where you live. Basically everybody all along the socioeconomic ladder in big cities with a lively social life do drugs

White genocide would be a sick name for a white powdered drug, or a metal band

psychedelics increase neuroplasticity and give you the potential to expand your mind. My first time tripping was a big catalyst to discovering my gender identity

it's a tool, not a solution

It's more like everybody does drugs. People in the socialist organizing circles in my area often do a bunch of drugs too, sometimes at the party office after hours lmao

I've actually been to parties in Silicon Valley with rich capitalists before and did a bunch of drugs with them

The capitalists themselves were pretty boring to chat with but I mostly hung out with the hired catering staff + musicians and the capitalists GFs and wives (usually 1-3 decades younger lmao). There were also some models that I think were hired to attend that were also really fun with hang out with

It's not terrible, there was weird performative white people woke shit like the host was a white dude, all his capitalist friends were white dudes, and the only POC was me, the party staff, and a few of the partners of capitalists. And they would do hippie spiritual sound baths, have black people play African drums in African garb while talking about the spirit of Africa, playing Indigenous music and saying how we need to respect their land, have Asian musicians talk about Buddhism and spirituality, etc.

One of the Asian musicians even told me they went by their Asian name to the guests to seem more "oriental". But he told me to just call him Alex LOL

The mansions are usually decorated with both lots of recognizable local and famous art with shit taste but there were cool places to hang out at like the pool, sauna, movie theater, music studio, etc.

I had fun being high af off a cocktail of whatever free drugs I'd get offered at those parties, but again, only because I mostly talked to the non capitalists there

Videogames for example

I'd imagine their chat channels aren't end to end encrypted, I don't think cia would want their messaging to be stored and controlled by a gaming company
